Work HistoryHello! A little bit about me - I became passionate about working within the LGBTQ+ community while I was attending the University of Wyoming and volunteering with organizations such as the Shepard's Symposium on Social Justice (an annual social justice conference in honor of Matthew Shepard). While in grad school, I completed my practicum (therapist training) at the LGBTQ Center OC. There, I provided therapy to a diverse population of people, however most of my work focused on trans women. I founded a group therapy program called Neuroqueer, which is a space for queer, neurodivergent adults to find community, learn about being neurodivergent adults and how to support and accommodate their neurodivergence in safe and supportive environment.
